Six months ago, Alexander proposed a general ban on such scholarships. Final guidelines were supposed to be issued after March.

At a joint meeting of the Legislature's Education Interim Committee and the state Board of Regents, held at Southern Utah University, the two groups passed a resolution aimed at looking at admission requirements for community colleges.

It was found that a rust in the carpet's yarn turned the carpet pink once water was applied. The laying of the carpeting was then halted, but not before over 7,000 yards were installed in the Library and Administration Building. Not wanting to furnish the new addition to the library on faulty carpeting, Carol Reid, dean of the library, looks out her office to empty bookshelves on the fourth floor of the library. "It's a beautiful place, one of the nicest places on campus," Reid said, "but it can't be used until the carpet problem is resolved." Reid said everything else associated with library construction was on or ahead of schedule and moving smoothly.

The type the school now has is woven, the new carpet is tuft, a style more companies make. "Switching to this carpet increases competition among companies," Michaelis said. The carpet was $450 cheaper per yard than the previous carpeting, but Michaelis, who along with Vice President of Planning, Dick Chappel and Vice President of Facilities, Pat Hayes made the decision on which carpet to buy, insists that the purchase was a good choice. "It was tested for wear against the old type. There was a noticeable difference in the woven over a simulated five years of wear, while the tuft looked like new. It is a good carpeting, we just got a bad lot of it." The carpet company has preformed various tests at UVCC to remedy the problem, but none have produced positive results. Professional carpet cleaning companies have also tried unsuccessfully to cure the bleeding carpet.
